Figure 4From: Silencing of a putative immunophilin gene in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus increases the infection rate of Babesia bovis in larval progenyInfection rate of B. bovis in larval progeny from gene silenced R. microplus females. Imnp - a putative immunophilin gene; Spi - a putative Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor; Lpc - a putative lipocalin gene. The percentages of larval progeny infected with B. bovis were compared by Chi-squared test and P values for each experimental group are shown.Back to article page
